Survivor- and community-led crisis response: Practical experience and learning

Case story: Small support making BIG impact in Nepal’s Kailali District

Markets and localisation: Empowering Turkana fisherfolk in Kenya

A new paper from The Humanitarian Practice Network at the Overseas Development Institute distills ten years’ evidence from survivor and community-led crisis response (sclr) in natural disasters, armed conflict, persistent poverty, and social unrest.

The last three years have shown a notable change in the lives and livelihood of people living in Shanti Tole in Kailali District, from women coming forward asking for their rights to youths engaged in economic activities. And the ‘rich kitchen garden’ is clearly telling the changed eating habits of the people, with a lot of nutritious food in their plate.

In Turkana district in North West Kenya, DCA works through a local partner, Sapcone, that is helping Kenyan pastoralists - who are losing their livelihoods due to climate change—to become fishermen. The project supports local engagement and facilitates linkages to value chains beyond the local context.
